[rules-users] EDT dependency -- transitive dependencies broken from 4.07 to 5?

[Andrew Waterman]

Hi Everyone,

I've seen this issue in the archives, but I haven't seen anyone  
address it in regards to an upgrade from 4.07 to 5MR2.  Basically, I  
have a set of java dialect "drl" files that compile properly in 4.07  
and are usable, but when I simply modify my maven build to use the  
5MR2 release, I get the following well-known error:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: The Eclipse JDT Core jar is not  
in the classpath
         at  
org 
.drools 
.rule 
.builder 
.dialect 
.java 
.JavaDialectConfiguration.setCompiler(JavaDialectConfiguration.java:94)
         at  
org 
.drools 
.rule 
.builder 
.dialect 
.java.JavaDialectConfiguration.init(JavaDialectConfiguration.java:55)

org 
.drools 
.compiler 
.PackageBuilderConfiguration 
.addDialect(PackageBuilderConfiguration.java:200)
         ... 30 more

This error seemed to go away when I moved from using my local build of  
Drools to using the staged builds on snapshots.jboss.org, but has come  
back to haunt me this morning.

Have the transitive dependencies changed in 5? Are there any Maven  
specific work-around suggestions? Is this the expected behavior for 5?

best wishes,

Andrew
